Tamsin Greig, 51, has had a wonderfully varied career, cleverly avoiding both pigeonholes and the supposed plague visited upon “actresses of a certain age.” But now one of the roles she is best known for – Beverly in Episodes – is about to go into its fifth and final series. So that’s the end of that.

She doesn’t seem particularly sad. In fact she still seems thrilled it took off in the first place. “I’m always surprised when things work. I always go in thinking, “Oh, it’s just a thing...” I’m so delighted it floated my way. And now as all things should, it’s great to see it float away again.” She smiles that funny, eyebrow-y smile that she has.
